Hello Product Hunt community - @dylansather and I are so excited for our first launch! We built Should It Be a Meeting with a straightforward (and fairly obvious) goal in mind - to help you spend less time in unproductive meetings at work. We've been fortunate to work at both small and large companies, and we've experienced first-hand how a meetings-heavy culture can crush a team's productivity and morale. We hope our tool is equal parts fun and useful, with just a hint of snark. 😜 Enjoy using it - feel free to share with your colleagues at work, and we'd love any feedback you have! πŸ™

@dylansather @droosevelt Love this... needs to be a Slack integration maybe through Slackbot. It could pop up whenever you type the word "schedule" into a thread 🀣
Danny Roosevelt
@abadesi thank you! And wow...you might be on to something with the Slack integration...

Beautiful! I sent this to my management and got fired. Kidding, I didn't get fired, but seriously, this is perfect! πŸ˜ƒ

It should just link to a static page that says "No".

I have a real gripe with people deciding to schedule pointless meetings, some people do it more than most...

Either way, those people now can take the decision making out of the process and use this handy little product. Nice work guys!

Pros:

Does exactly what is says, loved sending this to everyone in the team

Cons:

Needs more questions!

Haha, cool tool! How did you create the quiz? Or with which software? I'm looking into creating something like this as well and am looking at solutions.

@poehah this was custom-built using React (we <3 React) and React Router (https://github.com/ReactTraining...) to control the flow between pages. Happy to go into more detail if you need!

GUT REACTION : 😍 Let me expand on that thought. BRAND : 🐝utifully simple, MVP decision tree tool by @ratethatmeeting PROBLEM : 3 months avg of wasted time per year on unnecessary meetings SOLUTION : 30 second normalized survey MARKET : Enterprise interest in Productivity Apps are down ~2.5% this quarter, but up ~10% since last Spring [source : http://bit.ly/2FyFTlf ] COMPETITION : COOs worldwide, would be sweating for their jobs being automated, but this just helps communicate & take anything personal out of shooting down waste of time workplace gatherings. TEAM : @droosevelt @dylansather TRACTION : 151 claps on Medium [ http://bit.ly/2w3HYGz ]- not bad PRICING : FREE! Rate That Meeting is $10/mo for teams CONCLUSIONS : Yes. More of this. Surveys can be surprisingly powerful. You'll see, you'll aaall see.

Simple and straightforward to its purpose. 10/10 would send it to my manager.

Pros:

Does what should be obvious to all of us, The Office GIFs

Cons:

Needs more The Office GIFs
